BLACKING-STAND, 89C.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 2.323,580, dated October 19, 1880.

Application filed July 16, 1880.

To all whom @t may concern Be it known that I, FREDERICK VOGEL, a citizen of the United States, residing at New York, in the county and State of New York, have invented new and useful Improvements in Hat-Stands, of which the following is a specication.

My invention relates to an article of furniture the construction of which adapts it to subserve the purposes of a hatstand, umbrellaholder, and a combined blacking-stand and case for receiving such stand when not in use.

I will first describe the general construction of this article of furniture, and afterward point out by the claim the features ot' novelty.

In the accompanying drawings, in which similar letters of reference indicatelike parts, Figure 1 is a front elevation of my improved hat-stand with the blacking-stand raised up beneath the table. Fig. 2 is a vertical section ofthe same, and Fig. 3 is a horizontal section on X Y ot' Fig. 3.

The lower part of the hat-stand consists of a small table, ot which a is the top. e is a drawer.

The upper part ot' the stand, to which the hooks h are attached, is formed of the two sides b b, the back c, and the hinged or pivoted looking-glass d, which together form a small closet-,which may be used for various purposes. When this closet is to be used as an umbrellastand it has at the bottom awater-pan, p.

fis a blacking-stand, provided with the usual (No model.)

appliances. This blacking-stand is hingedV to the table-frame by means of links Z and joints g and z'. By means of one or more cords, j, pulleys k, and balance-\veigl1ts w, the whole blacking-stand is folded or raised up beneath the table, as shown in full lines in Figs. land 2. The position ot the blacking-standf when in use is indicated in dotted lines in Fig. 2. The front ot' the blacking-stand is made of such a shape as to give an ornamental nish to the combination when the blackingstand is folded up beneath the table.

m m are water-pans for umbrellas. n n are umbrellaguards ot' the usual construction. The guards u n are side extensions ot' the table a, andthe base B ot' the casing B', which receives the blacking-stand when the stand is not in use,is recessed at its eudsior the pansfm.

What VI claim isrIhe combination, with the table a at the base ot' a hat-stand, ofthe blacking-stand f, counected to the frame ot' said table by pivoted links l, and the weighted cord passing over a pulley, 7c, for raising said blacking-stand under the table, 'substantially as herein shown and described.

In testimony -whereof` I have hereunto set my hand in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
